Students from all levels of education met at the CalixtoGarcía park, in the city of Holguín, to reaffirm their support to the Constitutional referendum on February 24 as well as their support for the brother people of Venezuela.

The act was about commitment to the anti-imperialist and independence ideas entrusted by Hugo Chávez and Commander in Chief Fidel Castro.
